Newry Town Hall gets the Doughty treatment
- Details
Brian Reilly, director, PSI said: "As part of this prestigious project to transform this historic venue into a space that works well for hosting entertainment events, we were enlisted to supply Newry Town Hall with all its theatrical requirements including lighting, dimming and flying system as well as IWBs and facility panels from Doughty. Working with Peter Tweed, PSI's service and install manager, we took the outline from the consultant and the dimmer count and designed some facility panels with the Doughty team and produced technical drawings for the design."
Dan Phillips, project sales co-ordinator, Doughty added: "Brian supplied us with the design for the system which we then used to produce some technical drawings to enable PSI to get sign off from their client. Virtually all the kit we supplied to PSI for this job was bespoke. In fact, with the facility panels, Brian asked if we could pre-wire these in the warehouse to reduce the time on site with the termination teams as time-scales for the project were tight."
The result of the refurbishment is a slick-looking venue which has been brought up to future standards for touring theatre and television productions. Brian concluded: "PSI is very proud of the Newry facility and our client Eoin McCartan is very happy with the finished results. We have a long history of working with Doughty's team and have become the Doughty go-to across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Mike and the entire team are always a delight to work with."
